Because he kept missing them last season 😅

10 assists as well,6 games too go plus Europe he will get 20 plus in prem this season,wat a player

So ? That guy goes missing when it matters the most, any hint of pressure , he folds

@@Youafool500nonsense

@@user-pz9ym5rl9q it’s not nonsense, Iv seen enough of him in games he’s gone missing in and I don’t support Villa

He changes opinions more than Foden has UCL knockout goals

I came here hoping to find a clip of Jim White rubbing it in 😅

I’m an admirer of Simon, but he does need to own the fact that he was wrong here.

​@@jeffisontheairHe does this all the time.

😂 😂 😂

He hasn’t shown the arsenal fanbase anything other than he can beat arsenal. Villa are 4th and we’ll see if they seal a ucl berth but the truth is he didn’t do anything extraordinary in his full season at Arsenal where he sacrificed a premier league home game against Palace and played a weaker team (starting Carl Jenkinson in 2019 ffs] to keep players rested for the Europa league in midweek when top 4 was in our hands. Then look at the performance HIS team produced for us in the UEL final where they played it like it was a preseason game. Even if you want to say the first season was ok the performances in the second season where he got sacked were nothing short of an absolute shambolic disgrace. He deserved to get the sack when he got it and most Arsenal fans who showed reason at the time and now would’ve always known he’s decent but not the right fit for a club like Arsenal that has been at the top of English football at the start of the century and has legitimate aspirations of getting back there

Arsenal fans never took to him. Never gave him a chance and hounded him out at the first sign of struggle. For comparison they accepted Arteta 2 consecutive 8th place finishes

@@ziudra91 The first 8th place finish is the work started by Unai Emery that season where we were primed to finish lower than that if he wasn’t replaced ASAP. Arteta then managed to salvage the season with an FA Cup win where we beat City and Chelsea in the semis and final respectively. Of course Arteta being a former player that was liked and showing potential the year before bought him time with the fans but still there were people that would’ve wanted him out. With Emery you certainly expected more from the start of that 19/20 (his second season) where you criticise for Arteta finishing 8th when he’s an established manager fresh off the PSG job

Everyone knows emery is a top manager he just made some mistakes but he definitely is and always has been an elite manager. And a lot of people saying he ‘proved’ himself with villa is not just casual anymore it’s just so stupid he literally took Villarreal to a ucl semis with a group of mostly rejects and young promising players after he won them the Europa League against united and all those Europa League trophies with Sevilla

​@@vicsdunleavy21Arsenal's squad was dire the fact he got to the final and nearly got UCL football from league positions is impressive

I know it’s looking like an uphill task but most of us want you lot to win the league

100% agree would love Liverpool to take it. UTV YNWA

Heaven forbid he change his mind when presented with new data.. lol

​@@JordiBoy_ the point is villa have 5/6 1st team players out MOST of the season, and still competing. UTFV

​@@JordiBoy_villa yday had no Ramsey mings buendea cash lenglet luiz due to suspension and kamara, buendea mings out all season, Ramsey basically been out all season was back for like two months that's it . Kamara been out for couple months and out all season, but the difference between villa and other clubs we haven't cried about it and made a big fuss or used it as an excuse we just get on with it

Difference is, Unai never whined about it once!​@JordiBoy_

@@JordiBoy_ the nature of the injuries has to be taken into account. 3 ACLs for first team players in one season is hardly normal.

​@@JordiBoy_3 ACLs in one season is normal then is it?

Sounds like Jamie O hara 😁

As a Villa fan I’m predicting 2 great clubs of football history, namely Villa and Newcastle, play their way into the top 6. Who they shove out doesn’t matter. Maybe Chelsea and Man U. Remember Man U have only had 2 great managers in their whole history.

Tbf I want aware of a rivalry 😂🤷🏻‍♂️ I usually see Newcastle fans complimentary towards Villa than any other club on comments

He must be sick of that this season 😅

He's a nob

Not a lot of people know this, but Troy Deeney’s real father is Dwight York. 👍

Yea we're on the up we just need the money to balance the books in order to spend which with Adidas tripling the money we get from the kit manufacturer, Betano doubling our kit sponsor (for two seasons until betting companies are banned from sponsorship)money and Champions League money nevermind selling players we will be in it for the long haul

I can see a future sponsorship deal with Comcast. That would bring some serious revenue. utv

Hopefully Villa can continue to strengthen their team and not fall foul to FFP and potentially sell prized players. Saying that I applaud what measures Ratcliff has bought in a Man U to do away with unnecessary expenditure. Maybe more clubs need to take a leaf from this and get down to what really matters and run football clubs better in terms of it being a viable business from commerce to the footballing issues.

Massive finances? Mate, we’re not short of a Bob or two. Qualifying for the CL and decent league finish coupled with the Adidas deal changes the revenue altogether

Second to no one pmsl your history is in the 1800s after that ur well below forest 😂😂

@@villan81we haven’t secured qualification yet, if we fall at this hurdle things start to look dicier. Also people seem to forget that when you start getting top 4/playing UCL your revenue might increase but so do your costs, and the fee/wage inflation at the top end of the spectrum is far larger and harder to keep up with than it is further down. Not to mention that the big 6 will be doing everything they can to get us tripped up on FFP and put back in our place

⁠@@leehaslam5751- how many FA Cups and League Cups have Forest won? How many league titles?

@@leftmono1016 how many have vile won in the last hundred years

And in some way because of him. Inflated wages on players not worth a dime and an insistence of buying only British players.

And a lot more assists

Watkins is player of the season. He has to win it. He won’t. But he has too. 19 league goals without any of them being penalties, plus 10 league assists. How can it not be him. ?

If it came down to goals and hard graft then Watkins would walk player of the year. Mainoo has had a few decent games and he’s wonderful. Why? He plays for Man U.

Yea what a machine and to think the guy has asthma seeing him running especially back then but even now with his off the ball movements you wouldn't of thought

Newcastle made a domestic cup final in the same season 😂

Yea such a shame ain't it but he has admitted he made that mistake atleast but I would say if it wasn't for Houlliers health issues it would've been for the best especially with the way Randy Lerner was at the time.

Yes randy learner proved he was not up to it ​@@dennisgoatimer1079

Yeap left us in a mess. Haven’t forgiven him.

Spot on. 👍👍👍

Not Martin's fault the owner let him use whatever he wanted all managers would do that he had us up in the top 6 several seasons and would have gone Into top 4 if it wasn't for Randy Lerner ! He was the one that almost destroyed our club!!

I'm pretty sure he meant "entitled" in the way you trying to correct him by.

Well said

Unforgivable to walk out when he did.

well not lately, we don't get pens awarded anymore , I think an opposition player could grab hold of the ball with both hands and I'd be doubtful the ref would give a pen after some of the decisions we've seen in the 2nd half of the season

How many Prem pens has Dougie scored ?

@@KyronBuggy-mb7og From memory villa have had 4 penalties this season in the league, all taken and converted by Luiz and all in the first few months of the season and definitely none since December, The reason Luiz takes them is Unai could see what most Villa fans could, and that was Watkins was unconvincing as a penalty taker, career wise he manages 1 in 2 from the spot.

No he wouldn’t. That why he doesn’t take pens

@@RS_LiFobased on what? 🤷🏿‍♂️

The other week Villa got slapped 4-0 at home by Spurs, don't be silly

Then spurs got their arses handed to them off Newcastle

​@@ghostoftheyoutubefuture2630We were knackered because of the injuries and dealing with Europe dealing with Ange ball with all that isn't easy but it was one freak result so what.

@@frankiemcconalogue192 Didn't Villa get their behinds handed to them by Newcastle too?......Twice??

@@dennisgoatimer1079 Villa are a good team no doubt but to say they are more worthy than Arsenal is crazy talk

We ain't going to be like Newcastle anywhere we will be better but it's hardly a bad thing with their injuries but hey we're here with European football and our injuries sooo yea

Only 30 million from that 100 million has us where we are this season though - Bailey, Danny Ings did nothing as was sold last season and Buendia been injured the whole season Great narrative though

It's a league next season not a group we need to finish in the top 24 (top 8 automatically through 9th to 24th the qualifying playoffs) surely we're better then 12 other teams. Plus we got a window to recruit to make us ready.

@dennisgoatimer1079 Ah, do you know what, I didn't even know that mate, thankyou for telling me. After knowing that, I absolutely think we are good enough to be one of the best 8, 9, or 10, so yes, bring it on. Why not! 👍

You say not ready this season so when would you want it?

The champs league was amazing to be in this season but I always preferred to concentrate on the league more then the champs league as i knew we couldnt do well in both. Hopefully you get an easier group then we did😂.

@@taylor-mb6eg Thanks for that but it's going to be a league format not a group stage next season. To put it simply it's 8 different teams for the 8 games (That goes for all European competitions and there's no drop downs) whoever's get in the top 8 is in the round of 16 9-24 is in the qualifier playoffs. That's out of 36

Yes we was, just goes to show what terrific owners & a phenomenal manager can do to a club. *Every Week We Follow The Boys In Claret & Blue* *We Even Conquered Europe In 1982* 😉 🟣🔵

Why can’t we both do well? I’m a Villa fan who now lives in Australia and watched Ange transform Brisbane and then Australia in footballing terms. Ange is a dead set winner and reputations mean nothing to him.

I don't see that happening they can see the progress and under Unai Emery they couldn't ask for a better situation quite frankly but it's in our hands anyway

He wishes

It is something we as fans could see happening as you said hard to stay in there

It’ll depend on the recruitment in the summer, if we can keep our players and what implications ffp might have - Villa are potentially on the cusp of doing something great and hopefully they make the right moves continuing this momentum

I don't think it would happen really. It depends on recruitment and injuries unlike Newcastle we've experienced European football before getting Champions League but the format is supposed to be different next season so it's uncharted territory for all teams involved which will make it interesting to see how each teams deal with that change.

a lot of people think Villa will fall off like newcastle, but to be fair newcastle went from no european competitons to CL, while Villa will go from conference to CL

​@@dennisgoatimer1079what are you on about 😂😂😂😂🤦

He worked under Doug for half a season

When a manager says he's happy with the majority of the team he inherits, which Emery did say during previous transfer windows and therefore bought only a few players, can't say it's no longer his team.

West Ham are way bigger than the Vile. KRO

No, some Villa fans do believe- generally the same ones that also don’t accept that they are only in this position due to a technology failure and try to justify it with other decisions that went against them that season instead.

​@@christianbrienesseDude that's just the truth though like seriously bringing up one mistake as a reason we're in the league is crazy especially since if that decision was changed we had the whole of the 2nd half to do something and the rest of the games are affected as well. People who say that as an argument don't really know football

​@christianbrienesse Both can be true? That was a mistake and Villa shouldve gone down sure but to focus on one decision across 38 games is laughable.

@@dennisgoatimer1079people who use that as an argument also know football. They just have a different opinion. It has to be accepted that had it been working that day Villa would be at least 1-0 down at one point of the match. It’s unfortunate for Villa but at the same time fans should have the humility to accept they are currently where they are on a technicality.

@@user-sc9oy1kz8gthat one decision is one of the only black and white decisions that can be made though, all things being equal. Hence it is entirely correct to focus on that decision.

Truth 👊🏾

Because he can't predict every game correctly? If he could do that, he'd be a trillionaire
